Important The Mindbreaker perk has been re-enabled. The Breakdown and Wicked perks have been disabled. Features Hook Improvements Quality of Life The Resolve Bar is now visible to other Survivors while hooked. Dev note: To help bridge the information gap between players using voice chat and those who aren't, we've added…

Letting Survivors Leave, Forcing Killers to Stay: What a Perfectly Fair System
When the exit gates are powered, the match is essentially over. At that point, the killer has virtually no realistic way to turn things around—yet they’re forced to stay in a match that’s already been decided, for up to two minutes. Whether survivors are toxic or not is completely beside the point. Whether they’re…

I'm getting frustrated with this Map Rotation System.
Everytime I play killer as Houndmaster which is A LOT. Instantly I just get Lery's…then hawkins, then back to lery's, then RPD…Does the game just want me to lose, do you want me to play killer? Haha RPD I can handle a little more but its been CONSTANTLY Hawkins and Lery's. (Shattered Square a lot too)

Did you add unsafe palettes to all the maps they told you to? I'm not playing this game anymore.
This was supposed to be an update to help the survivors, but what happened? The main killers started their reign of terror again, consequently reverting all the changes, nerfing the survivors (maps, medkits, perks), and giving the killers buffs again. Listen to your community for once, instead of the streamers who send…

Why Kaneki is poorly designed
Before anyone gets me wrong, I do not believe Kaneki to be THAT strong. He's good, but there's counterplay and the 50/50s at pallets are very enjoyable, just as they are against Huntress. The issue is on his LOCK-IN-PLACE attack, which is just very, very, very bad design. Let me explain. On the killer's end, you get stuck…

Back after a month break
Played 4 games after taking a month break, either me or another survivor gets tunneled out at 5 gens, proceeds to take another break. Good thing those anti tunnel changes didn't go through though right? :)

Earn a badge for 100 played matches
So, it seem like if you own a BHVR account, you can earn a special badge based on the amount of trails you've played. Currently, after 100 played matches, you will receive an email with a code that you can redeem in the ingame store to get a badge as a reward for that milestone. There is no official announcement for that…

Would you be in favor or against a third Resident Evil chapter?
I’m curious where everyone stands. We’ve had two solid RE chapters, but there’s still a ton of characters and locations they could pull from. Would you want another one, or should BHVR focus on other licenses or original content instead? What would make you support or oppose a third RE chapter?
-
Today's trial map is awful.
It's 1 safe pallet after another all within 10 yards of each other. Multiple chained loops, incredibly strong main building connecting multiple double pallet areas. Really a head scratch moment and the question of how?

BP incentives are still hopelessly broken
Every time I play I still get BP incentives for the role that has a far longer queue time. I don’t think that’s how they’re supposed to work. Is there any point in reporting that BP incentives are still broken? It’s been at least a year now, I think. Should we just assume that BHVR either don’t know how to fix them or are…

Im Working on Getting my Unknown up To P100 I only have 180 hours in Killer but im sure this isn't accurate because i Started Sense Vegna (The Lich)…

Huntress Multi-hit Hatchets
Huntress Hatches are broken if two survivors are near each other they both will get downed by a hatchet making protection hits impossible for her. https://x.com/the_jrm/status/1997070706664706515?t=t5XXQJWyTrBBTZFHctiquQ&s=19 https://x.com/wayamaya_danny/status/1997101225213677982?t=xnPEfv3z-PHrkmesPkwKkA&s=19

Your code of conduct
Everyone has their own ways of playing and their own rules or code that they play by so lets hear yours. Killer: No intentional tunneling though if I just happen to run into you I'm not just going to ignore you. No face camping but hag or trapper traps are okay. No slugging but chasing another survivor away for a moment is…

Why does Dead by Daylight look blurry on a 4K TV?
This issue is something I'm incapable of solving on my own. I tried every method there is; swapping my HDMI 2.1b cable to the latest version 2.2, tried different HDMI cables, using other ports, changing Dead by Daylight settings, various TV and console settings, but, alas, none of it solved my problem. This is the only…

o Jogo esta completamente tomando pelos hackers
eu tento jogar o DBD toda dia a noite, porem esta impossível para mim, a fase de quem usa hack não é nova, porem atualmente perdeu completamente o controle, a cada 10 partidas que eu tento jogar, 6 ou 7 tem alguém usando hacker, tanto eu jogando de killer , quanto de sobrevivente, e sinto que não adianta eu denunciar…

Is there a way to eliminate tunneling entirely?
Everyone says we need to create an environment without tunneling. But how do we actually coordinate such an environment? If we were to hang everyone to the average level once, wouldn't that be like forcing everyone to finish a marathon holding hands?
-
Disable Pain Res if a Survivor is Dead at 4/5 Gens.
The Problem: Frankly, the game is designed as a 4v1. That is why tunneling is so effective; it reduces the game to a 3v1 scenario in which the odds are heavily stacked to the killer (obviously). If a player is dead at 5 gens, the game is essentially a loss for survivors. It's unproductive to give survivors insane speed,…

Wow...did not miss Ghoul
So I don't enjoy a few killers most times but counterplays that I'm super good at or just they feel dull for example I'm not a fan of Wraith as I can't hear him without headphones and yes I also have a hard time seeing his outline mostly on bright maps. Nurse it's just how her power is in the game it can be very finicky…

If you experience sound issues
Try going in and out of the menu in-game by pressing gamepad/options button on PS5, three horizontal lines on XBOX, + button on Nintendo Switch or ESC on PC. That fixed the muffled sound for me but you have to do this every time it happens. Sometimes, it's random for me and other times, it happens more often in a row.

Your anti camping system is a joke
Yesterday, while playing a solo queue match, a killer camped with 5 generators and was relatively close to me. I entered the second phase, and the anti camp bar only filled halfway. I wondered, is this garbage the new anti camp system? You should fix it, please.
-
Chain stuns shouldn't be a thing...
Killers need a rage mechanic. Like 5-10 seconds where you can't get stunned back to back. Long enough to not get hit by a Head on to flashbang to DS to Blood Rush Head On to flashbang, but short enough to be able to stun the killer twice with pallets. Of course Blight's OP ahh would probably only get 3 seconds lol. Even…

Have you witnessed more cheating in 2025 than previous years?
Because I do and the last couple of months have been really bad lately. I'm currently residing in the EU West region. I don't know why there are so many cheaters popping up as of late. The worst part is that most of them are advertising their cheats and use dbd as a platform for cheat software advertisement.

With so many survivors leaving the game, what would bring you back?

Can we please get a Masked Yellow Rabbit skin for Springtrap?
I'm kinda disappointed that we didn't get a masked yellow rabbit skin for Springtrap with the release of the second FNAF movie. Also, yes I am aware that they said they might not add a masked varient to the skin we already have, and although I think that would be cool I'd prefer getting a skin for the cleaner suit we saw…

Where ping page gone?
After all the hours wasted trying to nerf killers even further where have they moved the ping page? Please don't tell me this is some more information BHVR are hiding from us, where is it?

Something that still bugs me about Blight
Specifically PC Blights...they can just use a second program or even just some setting on their mouse to make it more sensitive to do spins that wouldn't be possible on console. Now is this cheating? Ehhh no cheating most times is full on hacking the game and taking a very clear advantage to win this would more be.…a…

Does anybody know of MYM shirt cosmetics will come back for survivors?
Behaviour is having their winter sale and I’ve been wanting to get MYM but only if that means getting the green MYM shirt cosmetics for the survivors. I know before they would send you a code to claim the shirts but that stopped a little bit ago I think. I know as of a month ago my friend didn’t get the shirt cosmetics

Does anyone actually like playing against new Myers?
Just looking for opinions here, not trying to start any arguments, but does anyone actually like playing against new Myers? He seems to be a combination of nothing but some of (in my opinion) the most irritating parts of many other killers' kits. If anyone has any tips on going against him, they would be much appreciated.

Shared Inventory Items/Offerings
I ask myself all the Time; Why do we not have shared Items/offerings across all Survivor and Killer? i don't like playing that specific survivor/killer just because i only have xy item on them.., are we able to bring BHVR's attention to this? I would very much welcome it to have shared inventory/offerings across…

Can we add the ability to see exact ping in lobby.
This would be a huge QOL chance as it lets the player decide if they want to verse someone with inconsistent ping that is spiking. there is nothing worse then loading into the match and the killers ping is fluctuating between 60 - 200 the whole match and with pallets how they are now the bad ping is just adding more of a…

Restore the ability to use Tab as a keybind
Tab needs to be able to be rebound to other actions. I have used TAB as my sprint key for the entirety of my time playing DBD. I have seen many other posts about this topic, but I wanted to add another one to help make sure people understand how vital this is.
-
For anti-tunnel, anti collision instead of endurance?
Tunneling remains an issue for newer players. One of the killer concerns with giving survivors longer endurance is that survivors will use it for body blocking. I'm personally agnostic, as I think the trade-off of having new players stay with the game is worth a very small number of players trying to abuse the system.…
-
Please...just remove the bubble
It is extremely useless If the survivor has kindred good luck the bubble hides the aura of the killer depending on how far away they are so by the time the bubble is gone boom aura is probably gone since they moved far from the survivor or even when their close I could be in a gen that's still hidden so progress can't be…

Top 10 Most Hated Killers
A Player was running a poll to vote for who was the most hated Killer in dbd and after 60k Votes these are the top 10 most hated Killers results. 10. Pinhead 9. Chucky 8. Doctor 7. Nurse 6. Legion 5. Krasue 4. Clown 3. Trickster 2. Knight Ghoul No big surprise tbh with Ghoul being number 1 If you think a killer should be…

Fog Vial Number Adjustments
The Nerfs they received were way too extreme. Lets bring them back to a healthy usage rate and level of usefulness. Increased Available Charges to 4 (Was 2) Increased Base Opacity to 40% (Was 33%) Adjusted Fog Effect to make the Visual Distortion of the Fog have the same impact on all Map's Sky Domes (Was too Strong or too…

Is there Killers with no sound or its maps with sound bugs
Ive encounter 3 survivor matches that the Killer and the Gens made Zero sound. Is there anyone who encounter this. It seems to be only on survivor ive noticed.

Remove gen kick limits
Gen kick limits happened because of how survivors complained about skull merchant . 3 gen situations are usually not the killers fault . if the survivors cannot keep track of which side of the map they are completing gens in .. that is their fault , not killers. I would have no problem if perks didnt effect the limit but…

Ghostface should be a true stealth killer
I love Ghostface, but he honestly feels stuck between being a legit stealth killer and just a regular M1 with a camera. The whole idea behind him is supposed to be the tension of not knowing where he is, but right now his power falls apart the moment survivors start spinning their mouse around like a turbine. If your…
-
DC Killer bots are needed.
Reading over a recent forum about the abandon system I can see frustration with what the abandon system allows from the killer side of things vs Survivor There is a double standard with the abandon feature but I feel like its purely down to if the killer leaves the match just ends. I see two ways this could be resolved by…
